Following the challenge posed by social media influencer Reno Omokri, urging supporters of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi to share images of the schools he constructed during his tenure, the candidate himself has issued a response.
Obi, in a press briefing, said building more schools when old ones are moribund is like constructing coastal lines when internal roads are impassable.
The presidential hopeful from the Labour Party stated that he had dedicated his efforts to revitalizing the state’s faltering educational system.
Consequently, he asserted that Anambra, who ranked 26th nationally upon assuming office, had ascended to the pinnacle by the end of his tenure.
He said, “I improved the quality, physical, and mental well-being of the people, schools, had the basic things they needed, and the people shone like stars, and that was my manifesto.
“Building new schools when the old ones are moribund is just like building coastal lines when internal roads are impassable.”
